Hi,

Yes, sad news. I too remembered him from the 70s. His shows were very funny with him sat on a chair, fag in one hand, drink in the other. His subject matter was on the ball and witty.

I hope they have some re-runs.

R.I.P. Dave Allen.

Also remeber him from the 70's, could you imagine the response these days if someone got on the stage with a cigeratte in one hand and a glass of whisky in the other, and then told jokes about religeon etc, Man was a comic genius.

RIP Dave Allan.

Remember watching his BBC shows in the 80s & early 90s.

The godfather of irreverence in comedy. LOL all the way.

This quip has always stuck in my mind from him:

We spend our lives on the run: we get up by the clock, eat and sleep by the clock, get up again, go to work - and then we retire. And what do they give us? A clock.

:lol:

RIP.
